Dreaming of tomorrow’s steps

Opportunities abound

Knocking now on hope’s doorstep

Unwavering faith aground

Staying awake and alert

Opportunities waiting

Willing spirit to assert

Seeing Father creating

Counting each heavenly star

Opportunities shining

Searching each earthly bazaar

Lauding Father’s designing

Taking more time to observe

Opportunities praising

Fulfilling notice to serve

Accepting grace . . . amazing!

From the words of Christian author and leadership speaker, John Maxwell: “With the right attitude and a willingness to pay the price, almost anyone can pursue nearly any opportunity and achieve it.”

Becoming who God created us to be is a lifelong process, which often occurs in small moments as we choose love over every other thing.

2 Corinthians 5:17: “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being!”

Just Another Day

Posted on February 18, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Driving dusty country road

Spotting landscape’s mountain peak

Deciding to climb her now

Stopping at cozy diner

Feeling extra hungry now

Ordering one more entrée

Traveling to nearby park

Witnessing fall’s colors now

Taking plenty of photos

Locating brand new car wash

Seeing truck looks dirty now

Selecting supreme wash job

Seeing family in need

Buying them blessed, hot meal

Filling up empty tank now

Pausing, time with Father now

Praying for needs of others

Thanking Him for many gifts

Wrapping up for now . . . just another day!

Virginia Woolf Quotes

Posted on February 18, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Books are the mirrors of the soul.

Fiction is like a spider’s web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer who was a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness with her narratives’ voice.

Edith Wharton Quotes

Posted on February 16, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Ah, good conversation–there’s nothing like it, is there? The air of ideas is the only air worth breathing.

Half the trouble in life is caused by pretending there isn’t any.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American author who became the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1921 for her novel, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.

Knew My Name

Posted on February 15, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

From Isaiah 49:1: “Listen to me, O coastlands; pay attention, you peoples from far away! The Lord called me before I was born; while I was in my mother’s womb He named me.”

**Photo by Johannes Plenio on Pexels.com**

Long before my birth

Father knew my name

Yes, creating me

No one shall be the same

Witnessing His grace

Father builds my trust

Day’s resolve strengthens

Righteousness now entrust

Providing for needs

Father’s light leads me

Mountains become roads

Future path, clear to see

Serving life’s purpose

Father never awed

My green pastures wait

Forever, child of God

Praising Savior Christ

My blessed salvation

New life now christened

Father’s creation

From Isaiah 49:13: “Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people and will have compassion on his suffering ones.”
